Leipzig, 1731. Mostly of the music lost, except for 1 movement revised in BWV 248 and 7 movements in original form in cantatas BWV 198 and BWV 54
1st performance: March 23, 1731 - Leipzig
2nd performance: March 27, 1734 - Leipzig (2nd version)The 2009 Bach Jahrbuch contains an article on an interesting finding, made in a library in St Petersburg (Russia): the text of a 2nd (?) performance of a Markus-Passion in 1744, conducted by Bach in Leipzig. The text found indicares that Bach included 2 additional arias and changed the text at certain places. This will not add any new music to this passion, called a passion-pasticcio, the remnants of which were described in the NBA KB II/9 (published in 2000) pp. 106-109.
